Victory Prima Pils

Brewed by Victory Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Downingtown, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle poured clear pale yellow with a big white head in my pint glass. Aromas of light malts and intense hops filled my nose This brew tastes awesome citrus malts and great malt sweetness. It’s kind of strange how the hops stand out first then the sweetness follows on this brew. Nice and light in the mouth and crisp on the tongue. This is now my go to pizza beer, and now that victory is now in Maine It may be my go to brew for next summer. Extremely drinkable for anyone who was wondering

12oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy, light yellow with a thin, crisp white head. Smells cereal malty and light, green hoppy. Tastes light and crisp, sweet malty with some light, green hops. Thin body, good carbonation.

Bottle at home - shared with Mette. Clear yellow - white head. Clean pilsner malty, white head, hay, light wet hay, nice hoppy, but not that fresh, bitterness, high bitterness, light grass, light cardboard, citruc, light crispyness. OK.

Bottled. Clear yellow color, medium white head. Nice hoppy aroma, bit flowery, slight grassy. Good bitter pils taste, slight grassy, smooth. Great palate. Very good pilsener style (which is supposed to be and in this case truly is obvious different from the typical american pale like ales).

Bottle. Aroma is grassy, with light citrus. Palate is crisp, slightly dry, a touch thin. Flavor full of grass, with some malt and hops. I’m not all that impressed, to be honest, but in honor of Victory’s faithful recreation of the Pilsner style, I’ll settle for judging this beer as “decent”. retried 5/2/09: OK, OK, I wasn’t fair to this beer the first time. Grassy, herbal aroma in the nose. Flavor has definite breadiness, grass, light lemon and herbs. Finish is crisp and dry. To be drank on a warm day, not sipped from a snifter.

Sample, on tap at FFF Brewpub. Pours very light yellow. Light and smooth easy drinker. Lightly hopped, undertones of citrus. Lacking very much depth, but overall refreshing.

Clear, yellow / straw color with white frothy head...carbonated. Floral, grain / straw, and mild citrus notes. Floral, citrus, and grain flavours. Full bodied with medium bitter finish.

Draft at Gordon Ramsay’s at the London, New York. Great that even two star restaurants have craft beers nowadays. Full malty flavour, hoppy aroma, dry crisp finish. An ideal food companion.
